Kamal Haasan changes the entire team of Sabash Naidu

Actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan's trilingual comedy Sabash Naidu, has undergone lot of shuffling since it went on the floors. First it was the director TK Rajeev Kumar, who exited after he fell ill. Now, the film's editor and cinematographer have been reportedly changed.

Speaking about the project, a close source to the unit said,"When Rajeev fell ill and was subsequently hospitalised, Kamal took over the directorial responsibility. Few days after the team started shooting in Los Angeles, editor James Joseph had to exit the project to attend to his wife who had met with an accident in Kerala."

The makers reportedly shot the entire first schedule without an editor.

"After completing the US schedule, Kamal thought cinematographer Jaya Krishna Gummadi too need to be replaced. Kamal wasn't happy with the pace at which he was working and is currently for a suitable replacement," said the source.

Sabash Naidu is a spin off based on the popular character Balram Naidu from Dasavatharam.
